Promenade de la Croisette, France
From series “The Most Beautiful Waterfronts and Embankments”
All fans of the Cannes Festival know about an adorable promenade de la Croisette. Its length is over one thousand meters. This promenade is the landmark of state value. Earlier there was the old route of the Croisette. Many expensive shops, restaurants, and hotels are placed at the promenade de la Croisette now. The promenade begins from the Festival Palace.
The building of the promenade has begun at the second part of the nineteenth century by the head of the city’s order. At that time there was built a beautiful street, that was named the Impératrice Street. Along the promenade the most luxurious building in the city was concentrated. After the Second World War some buildings were ruined and needed to be rebuilt, some were saved and now stay at the promenade. Along the promenade you will see several elite beaches. Sand for them was specially brought from the southern countries. Nowadays everyone can visit them. The only thing you have to do is to pay for it.
